Piastri on becoming a title contender and battling Norris

In only his third F1 season, McLaren's Oscar Piastri has emerged as a formidable title contender, currently leading the Drivers' Championship ahead of teammate Lando Norris with 10 races remaining in 2025. The 24-year-old Australian has steadily progressed since his 2023 debut, building on immense junior formula success where he won Formula Renault Eurocup, F3, and F2 back-to-back. Last season, Piastri secured two podiums, a Sprint win, and 97 points. His rapid rise from highly-rated rookie to genuine championship threat highlights his consistent performance and potential for a maiden Formula 1 World Championship.
